[Bug 300041] [NEW] stopmotion allways writes empty preferences.xml, crashing on the next start

[Florian Hars]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: stopmotion

On almost every run I have observed so far, stopmotion has written an
empty .stopmotion/preferenxes.xml (even if there was a nonempty one
before), with the result that it can no longer start:

$ stopmotion
/home/hars/.stopmotion/preferences.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty

^
/home/hars/.stopmotion/preferences.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

^
Segmentation fault

A program shouldn't segfault on reading a file that it has written
itself.
